There's no better time to buy an affordable tablet than during Amazon's Prime Day, as you'll be able to take advantage of attention-catching discounts like this $150 discount for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8. You'll be getting the device for just $180 instead of $330 -- even cheaper than its previously lowest price this year of $209 -- but you'll need to make the purchase as fast as you can because as with most Prime Day deals, we're not sure if stocks will last until the end of the shopping holiday.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 may not be challenging the best tablets in terms of performance, but with its octa-core processor featuring a peak clock speed of 2 GHz, it's more than enough for your multimedia needs. The device won't be able to handle demanding tasks like video editing, but if you're only planning to use the device for watching streaming content, browsing social media, playing video games, or all of these, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 won't disappoint. The tablet's 10.5-inch screen with 1920 x 1200 resolution promises vivid colors and sharp details, and it's part of the reasons why we've included it in our roundup of the best Android tablets as the top midrange option.

Hurry — Walmart’s Prime Day sale has a Samsung soundbar for $69
The Samsung HW-T400 soundbar.

You don't have to spend a lot if you want to improve the audio quality of your home theater setup, especially with this offer from Walmart for the Samsung HW-T400 soundbar. As part of the retailer's Walmart+ Week, which is its response to Amazon's Prime Day deals, you'll only have to pay $69 for the soundbar, instead of its original price of $89. That's $20 in savings on an already affordable device, but if you want it, you're going to have to proceed with the purchase right away because we're not sure how much time is left on the bargain.

Why you should buy the Samsung HW-T400 soundbar
Most of the best TVs are too thin to come equipped with premium speakers, but an easy solution to audio issues is adding a soundbar to your home theater setup. The affordable Samsung HW-T400 soundbar will do the trick for an instant improvement without breaking the bank. It's a 2.0-channel soundbar, with the "2" meaning it offers two channels -- left and right -- and the "0" meaning that it doesn't come with a separate subwoofer, according to our guide on how to buy a soundbar. However, that's because the soundbar features two built-in subwoofers and a sound duct that intensifies the bass using air vibrations, so you won't be missing out on excellent low-frequency audio.
